Cornell rape case gets special prosecutor. And, Renee Good's family sues the government

What the coverage shows
Most outlets center on the Cornell case and frame it around Gov. Kathy Hochul’s move to appoint Attorney General Letitia James as special prosecutor, with ABC News, Reuters and NBC News all emphasizing the appointment itself. NBC alone adds that the case comes amid mounting protests over Cornell’s handling of the original investigation, while The Guardian’s headline uniquely foregrounds Hochul’s planned response and uses live-blog framing. NPR is the only outlet to pair Cornell with a second case, Renee Good’s family suing the government.
